The relationship between pregnancy and oral health is an area of growing interest within dental and medical research. Pregnancy induces significant hormonal changes that can affect oral health, leading to conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Additionally, pregnant individuals may face unique challenges in maintaining oral hygiene due to physical, emotional, and social factors. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing targeted interventions that promote oral health during pregnancy, ultimately benefiting both the mother and the developing fetus.

Research has shown that poor oral health can lead to systemic complications, including adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth and low birth weight. Recent advances in this field include the development of tailored dental care guidelines and evidence-based interventions aimed at improving oral hygiene practices among pregnant individuals. Continued research can help bridge gaps in knowledge and practice, leading to better health outcomes for mothers and infants alike.

Ongoing exploration of the connections between oral health and pregnancy holds the promise of enhancing preventive strategies and interventions. By integrating dental care into prenatal healthcare, future studies may reveal innovative approaches to managing oral health concerns, ultimately contributing to healthier pregnancies and improved health outcomes.

We invite submissions on a range of topics that include, but are not limited to:

• Interventions for improving oral hygiene during pregnancy
• Impact of gingivitis on pregnancy outcomes
• Oral-systemic complications during pregnancy
• Importance of dental care in prenatal health

Dental implantology is undergoing a profound transformation driven by advances in biomaterials science, digital technologies, regenerative approaches, and personalized treatment strategies. Dental implants are a critical component of modern dentistry, enabling the replacement of missing teeth and improving the quality of life for individuals with tooth loss. Recent innovations in materials science, surgical techniques, and prosthetic designs have enhanced the success rates and longevity of dental implants, making them a viable option for a broader range of patients.

The significance of research in modern implantology is underscored by the growing need for effective solutions to combat tooth loss, driven by factors such as aging populations, periodontal diseases, and lifestyle factors. Advances in biocompatible dental materials and implant designs have led to improved osseointegration and reduced complications. Moreover, the integration of digital technologies, such as 3D printing and guided surgery, has optimized the planning and execution of implant placement, ensuring more predictable outcomes and more personalized care.

We invite submissions on a range of topics, including, but not limited to:

• Innovations in biocompatible dental materials
• State-of-the-art research on osseointegration
• Digital technologies in implant dentistry
• Customization of dental prostheses
• Advances in implant surface modifications
• Clinical outcomes and long-term implant performance
